In 1982, the Milwaukee Brewers finished 95-67, good for the best record in the league. They were led by the 26-year-old Robin Yount, who had one of the best seasons ever by a shortstop and won the American League MVP award. But that wasn’t the only hardware for the club lovingly known as the Harvey’s Wallbangers. The AL Cy Young also went to a Brewer, a guy who is now likely more known for playing the bad guy in the 1989 film Major League than he is for winning a Cy Young: Pete Vuckovich.
Fast forward 43 years and the Brewers are again the owners of the league’s best record.
